((If politics were an ideal world, the President would have been able to keep a

Paula Jones sexual harassment case.

I DID NOT ASK ANYBODY NOT TO TELL THE TRUTH...NO
IMPROPER RELATIONSHIP...THE ALLEGATIONS ARE NOT TRUE...I DO NOT KNOW THE BASIS
OF THEM...HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE...I WILL BE VIGOROUS...BUT I HAVE GOT TO GET
BACK TO DOING THE WORK OF THE COUNTRY.
This is the woman Bill Clinton is alleged to have had an affair with...former
White House intern, Monica Lewinsky...who was 21 years-old at the time.
It's tied to the Paula Jones case because Lewinsky is one of several women
believed to be involved in Jones' attorneys' investigation of Clinton's sexual
history.
The Washington Post reported that Clinton, along with his friend and advisor
Vernon Jordan, told Lewinsky to deny the idea of an affair with the President.
Lewinsky's lawyer confirmed that she has already given an affidavit in the
case.
WILLIAM GINSBURG/LEWINSKY'S ATTORNEY: THE MEAT OF THE AFFIDAVIT DENIES
THERE EVER WAS A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Now there's word that independent counsel, Kenneth Starr will be investigating
allegations of perjury, false statements and obstruction of justice involving
the President.
The Post also reports that another former White House aide tape recorded
conversations that she had with the ex-intern...where Lewinsky allegedly
states that she had an affair with Clinton and that he asked her to cover it
up.))
